NCAA Football Top 25 Notes

Most of the teams the AP added we already had on our Top 25 the last few weeks like Utah State, Syracuse, Virginia, Utah, Houston and a few others who have been popping in and out. We put Fresno in last night and Boston College was our 26th team. Differences are highlighted and explained in detail below. We have had 10,000 + votes since last night and will be looking through fan polls today.

Kirk Herbstreit made a case for Fresno State that did not match up to the one we had already been making since mid-season. Their only loss was to Michigan State in their first game, but they have ran every opponent after that off of the field. We did not think the AP would put them all the way at 18.

They travel to the home of College Football Today to take on the Colorado State Rams and we will be watching the greatness which is Coach Matt Wells, lead the now nationally ranked Aggies against well, Aggies. Both Fresno and Utah State are in the AP Top 25, because the case was presented on both sides and they obviously seen these stats posted last night by College Football Today by HeroSports.com.

Yes, Kansas State was a very bad loss, but they bounced back and beat #6 Texas, while also having a great win against a former Top 25 opponent in the Boise State Broncos. They lost to Iowa State by 6, who we ranked this week and the Cyclones have now beaten Top 25 WVU and former Top 25 Texas Tech since beating the Cowboys. They will be back in most polls before the season ends in our opinion, as they can game plan strategically with the best of them.
